Speech recognition

lakshmananindia has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks, Greets.

I'm using linux. Now I wanted to know whether it is possible to build a speech recognition software in perl. I googled, but I got only for windows.

So I request you monks, to give me some guidelines on how to start speech recognition in perl.

--Lakshmanan G.

The great pleasure in my life is doing what people say you cannot do.

There are some Speech recognition modules what about Speech::Recognizer::ViaVoice Perl wrappers for IBM's ViaVoice speech recognition library. Do a search on CPAN for speech recognition.	[reply]

Well-known software is Festival. A typing this query on search.cpan.org will give you some pointers. I don't have any experience with speech recognition so I can't recommend any. Update: The OP looks for speech recognition, while Festival is TTS (text-to-speech) system; sorry for misunderstanding.	[reply]

Try PerlBox: http://perlbox.sourceforge.net/. I don't know that much about it, but it sounds like what you're looking for. -- "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about." -- B. L. Whorf	[reply]

You may want to consult wikipedia's list of speech recognition projects, which includes at least 2 free, open source implementations. -- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them. [1]	[reply]
